the world

"Come back with me." I didn't ask other questions, some questions would be better asked after getting closer.

"I can't move." Unexpectedly, Taki Wakaba gave such an answer.

"...Is it the spine? Or is it the foot?"

That being said, it is true that since I met Taki Wakaba, she has been sitting on the ground.

"This world doesn't want me to act." Taki Ruoye said some incomprehensible words, "After I was about to kill that monster, I was forced into a coma, and I couldn't move after waking up. .”

"Did that knife bring you here?" If so, it would be understandable, it was the knife that manipulated the villagers to hide Taki Wakaba.

"Its name is Demon Sword Hirushi. I originally left it at home to protect Nanako and Mimiko."

"Does it have a consciousness of its own?"

In other words, Sizhi learned the news of Taki Wakaba's distress, left Nanako and Mimiko behind, manipulated one of the three villagers to kill the other two, and rushed to Taki Wakaba's side.

"Yes, is that unusual?"

I nodded.

Taki Wakaba said: "You can understand that a consciousness is attached to the sword, which makes the sword have extraordinary power. The body of the sword is just a vehicle it chooses."

"Is this the first time you use your kind of power?" Considering that Taki Ruoye doesn't know a series of terms such as "spell power" and "spell spirit", I said colloquially, "I saw the monster on that monster. The wound is getting worse, is this also your strength?"

"That's the power of Amazono's sword, and it has the characteristic of curse."

Although Taki Wakaba mentioned the curse, I intuitively feel that she is referring to the "curse" in the traditional sense, not the "curse" born of people's negative emotions.

"You won't let me turn back?"

"That's right, it's right behind you. Cursed if you see it."

The demon sword Sizhi and Tiancongyunjian are like knights guarding the princess.

I looked at the maiden costume on Wakaba Eyetaki: "I thought the three Japanese artifacts were lost, and its power deserves its name."

"At that time, I did use a power that I had never used before." Taki Wakaba said, "The previous opponents were not that strong. Maybe it was that power that made the world reject me."

"Like bondage?" I wanted to confirm my thoughts.

"The word you said is more accurate."

"To be on the safe side, you should not use that power for the time being. I have a little guess in my mind, can you use the reversal spell on me—that is, the healing power?"

Taki Wakaba nodded without asking why I knew about her ability.

She seemed to believe what I said the whole time, and while I was telling the truth, I should have been suspicious from her point of view.

Perhaps, my impression of her "simple" is correct.

I separated my palms and put my hands in front of Taki Wakaba.

"Water." Taki Ruoye said, "Get me some water."

Perhaps water is the medium through which she casts her spells, which is quite in line with her image as a witch. I looked around and saw a stream of water flowing downwards on the rock wall, so I caught some.

Taki Wakaba folded her hands, and I poured water into her palm. She looked pious and serious, tilted her palm, and let the water wash down my wound.

My body shook, and the wound healed quickly, which was expected, but the magic power in my body that was lost due to the release of a large number of magic spirits recovered at that moment.

full recovery.

"Do you know what else you did besides treat my wound?" My throat was a little dry.

"...What's wrong?"

"Do you find it difficult to use this ability?"

"It's not too much of an effort for me."

"Taki Wakaba, your ability is much more precious than I imagined. I am afraid that you are the only one in this world with such a unique ability."

If Taki Wakaba can assist his side on the battlefield, it is equivalent to having a buff with infinite magic power.

What is commendable is that Taki Ruoye's own combat power is not low.

I haven't seen Taki Wakaba's type of magician, but there is no doubt that no matter who her teammates are, she will be the best partner.

In addition, one thing that people can't ignore is that I didn't see the magic power on Taki Wakaba's body, even when she used the reversal technique.

If she didn't know how to use spells, I would have thought that she would be a human with 0 magic power just like Fuheshier.

I tend to think that Taki Wakaba naturally hides the flow of her spell power, otherwise it is impossible to explain her condition.

"There are people in this world who are born the strongest; some people are not born magicians; there are also people who are born with a certain kind of restraint, to sacrifice a certain innate condition and replace it with a certain aspect of powerful strength. You say the world won't let you act, right?"

"Correct."

"Then, set yourself a restraint. Similar to an equivalent exchange, although I don't know why you are suddenly bound, as long as you set a restraint for yourself, you will be able to obtain certain conditions of freedom."

I didn't ask her what the "can't move" bondage corresponds to, maybe it's her ability to fight special spells, maybe it's something else.

"..." I saw Taki Ruoye ponder for a few minutes, "In this world, I will not kill."

Then after a few minutes, nothing happened, Taki Ruoye looked at me: "There are ordinary people and conjurers who cannot use magic power among human beings, so what are the monsters that appear in the village?"

"We call it the Mantra."

"In this world, I don't kill. The target of killing is human..." Taki Ruoye's expression loosened, but it wasn't over yet. She seemed to stop here, but she seemed to have received What kind of information is mediocre, so I can only continue, "With the curse spirit."

For conjurers, these are really harsh conditions.Just as I was about to speak, I saw that Taki Ruoye's bondage was not over yet, but the words were spoken very softly, I only saw her lips move a few times.

"It's over, I can act now." Taki Wakaba stood up, "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Taki Ruoye walked behind me and put away the Amazono Cloud Sword, "I'm going back."

"Where are you going after that?"

"I want to go out to the city to find a reliable place for Mimiko and Nanako."

"Don't you resent the villagers?"

"They really are a bunch of stupid bad guys."

"I want to kill them all."

Hearing my words, Taki Wakaba turned around and looked at me: "Why?"

"I want to create a world where there are only magicians. As long as there are no magicians in this world, there will be no curses." I then explained my idea to Taki Wakaba.

"How long have you thought about it? It has accumulated bit by bit until now." Taki Ruoye didn't say what she thought, but asked after listening carefully.

"This status quo can no longer be maintained, I..."

Taki Wakaba, who has always been very graceful and polite, interrupted me: "Sorry, I can't give you the answer yet."

I passed out, it was Taki Wakaba who knocked me out.

She is really strong.

It was the last thing I thought about before passing out.

When I woke up, all I saw was the blue sky of Tokyo. The three faces of Taki Wakaba, Mimiko and Nanako occupied most of my field of vision.

"Are you awake?" Taki Ruoye asked, "Sorry, I knocked you out before."

"...This is Tokyo?" I looked around and found myself lying on the grass beside the bridge hole.

Taki Ruoye knelt on the ground, wearing a floral dress, which looks rustic, probably brought from some family in the village.Mimiko and Nanako are still wearing old black and white dresses, but the wounds on their bodies have disappeared, and there are vibrant smiles on their faces.

"Yes, you are from Tokyo, right?" Taki Wakaba said, she opened my phone and showed me the photos inside, "Although I didn't kill them, I still beat them up let's go."

The villagers in the photos were all beaten up and tied to the beams, their faces swollen like pigs' heads. It will probably be a day later when someone finds them out. I have to say that they were beaten quite hard.

"...how do you know how to use my phone?"

"..." Taki Ruoye turned her head away.

"... What's the date now?" A sense of powerlessness surged in my heart, I glanced at my phone, and I was dizzy all night and one morning.

"It's so pitiful, give them some money." I heard the sound of the steel coin falling to the ground, and I saw a pile of small change in front of me.

"This man has been lying here for a long time, and I don't know what disease he has. His wife and daughter must have nothing to do..." Two women in business attire put down a banknote sympathetically.

"..." I suddenly raised my head and saw that there was a large hospital on the bridge hole. My legs were covered with a torn blanket that felt like I picked it up from a trash can. I didn't know that the clothes on my body were from walking on a mountain road. The reason for this is still the reason why Taki Wakaba took me, and it was covered with mud spots.

"Thanks to everyone giving us money, we can have bread at noon!" Mimiko took out a bag of the cheapest and simple soft bread bought from a convenience store, opened it and handed it to Taki Wakaba, "You Let's eat first."

"I'm not hungry, you guys eat first." Taki Ruoye pushed the bread back.

Mimiko broke the bread in half, "Nanako, you eat."

Nanako and Mimiko gnawed on the bread with relish, with a sincere "delicious" expression on their faces.Taki Wakaba looked at this scene and showed a smile that made people feel relieved.

......

There were a lot of banknotes in front of me, including 1 yuan banknotes.

I was half-sitting on the ground with the old blanket still covering my legs. I didn't know whether I should lift the blanket up and stand up immediately or wait for the passers-by to leave before moving.

Just when this delicate emotion was fermenting in my heart, I heard a familiar voice, which can be called a disaster.

"Yoyo, isn't this Xia Youjie? It's been a few days since I've seen you like this?"

Gojo Satoru, who was dressed brightly and was in stark contrast to me at the moment, was wearing sunglasses, with one hand in his trouser pocket and the other raised high, greeting me with a very obvious smile.
